Take the Long Way

[Куплет 1] You tied your laces by the trailhead sign Red dust climbing the edge of your shoes The map had faded where the rivers crossed Still you chose the path no one could choose [Предприпев] Every bend kept something out of sight Every breath said, keep going [Припев] Take the long way, take it slow Let the unknown teach you where to go With a small brave heart and a steady stride There’s a wider world on the other side Take the long way, don’t turn back Trust the turning in the narrow track What you cannot see is calling you And the road grows clear beneath your shoes [Куплет 2] A hawk rose silent from the canyon wall Sunlight flashed along its wings You laughed alone at the sudden height At all the weight that leaving brings [Предприпев] No one promised an easy climb But the air felt open [Припев] Take the long way, take it slow Let the unknown teach you where to go With a small brave heart and a steady stride There’s a wider world on the other side Take the long way, don’t turn back Trust the turning in the narrow track What you cannot see is calling you And the road grows clear beneath your shoes [Бридж] If the compass shakes, let it shake If the hillside bends, let it bend You are more than the route you planned You are still becoming at the end [Брейкдаун] Just your name Just your breath One more step One more step [Final chorus] Take the long way, take it slow Let the unknown teach you where to go With a small brave heart and a steady stride There’s a wider world on the other side Take the long way, don’t turn back Trust the turning in the narrow track What you cannot see is calling you And the road grows clear beneath your shoes [Аутро] The road grows clear The road grows clear Beneath your shoes
